LUTHER BADMAN KEITH BLUES BAND
MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE AT CLIFF BELL’S JUNE 20 IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT

Badman’s song also featured in restaurant advertising campaign

DETROIT – The award-winning Luther Badman Keith Blues Band will make its first appearance at Cliff Bell’s in downtown Detroit, one of the city’s premier music establishments.

Keith, who will be releasing his third CD later this year, will perform on Sunday June 20 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Cliff Bell’s, located at 2030 Park Avenue near Elizabeth near the Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit. Admission is $5.

“We’re calling it a Father’s ‘Day pre-Fireworks blues show,” said Keith, noting that June 20th is Father’s Day, and his show will take place the day before the annual Fireworks Fourth of July Extravaganza on the Detroit River.

“Dad can have a good time and you can enjoy downtown without the crush of the Fireworks crowd. We hope to make some new fans and new friends. Cliff Bell’s is a really cool night club, with a décor from the `1930 and 1940s.”

A portion of the proceeds will go to support the Columbus Street Reunion, composed of members of the neighborhood where Keith grew up in Detroit. Performing with Keith will be bass player Paul Baker, drummer Milton Heavyfoot Austin, keyboard player Jim David, saxophone/harmonica player Billy Furman and trumpeter Mark Croft.

The band will perform its ususal high-energy mix of blues, rock, soul and funk.
